Driver’s Charm
(• to •••••)
Effect: Some drivers have good luck charms for their vehicles. A hula girl on the dashboard, a Saint Christopher medal on one’s keychain, a pair of beloved fuzzy dice, a cup holder full of the knucklebones of a vanquished enemy. Sometimes, such items are just icons of luck that doesn’t really manifest. Other times, the driver imparts a tiny portion of his own soul and will into the artifact, and it genuinely grants him some measure of luck when driving. For every dot purchased, the charm can increase by +1 the following statistics of a chosen vehicle: Durability, Structure, Acceleration, Handling.
Drawback: The driver’s charm works for only a single scene once per day, and requires one Willpower point from the driver to become active. Also, the charm is “attuned” only to one vehicle. If that vehicle wrecks, the charm (if it survived) can be re-attuned to a new vehicle, but doing so costs the driver a dot of Willpower. (Remember that recouping a dot of lost or spent Willpower costs eight experience points.)
